✈️ 🇬🇧A FAREWELL TO THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES – BRITISH AIRWAYS BOEING 747-436

This special aviation artwork commemorates Andrew Gardener, Customer Service Manager, and his final British Airways Boeing 747-436 flight, operating BA272 from San Diego to London Heathrow on 29 February 2020.

With the retirement of the British Airways Boeing 747 fleet later that year, this flight represented one of the final chapters in the remarkable story of the airline's much-loved Queen of the Skies.

For decades, the Boeing 747 was an unmistakable symbol of British Airways, carrying millions of passengers across the world and becoming an enduring part of aviation history.

This bespoke artwork captures that special journey, celebrating not only an iconic aircraft but also the people whose dedication and service helped make British Airways what it is today.

A fitting tribute to a remarkable career, a memorable final flight and an aviation legend.

😢

I have thought about this woman all day today, after hearing that terrible ATC audio from the crashed Learjet in Florida.

Now we know her name.

Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras.

She was only 20 years old, and yet she displayed immense bravery to continue to communicate with ATC, in what must have been the most terrifying experience that any of us could ever imagine.

My heart goes out to her family and loved ones.

To her pilot colleague, Jeff Gregory, and to the passengers:

Adam Robinson, his wife Helen Sharp, their children Emma and Charlie, their Nanny, Anita Maria Apellido Cetina, and friends Charmi Fehr and Rachael Reed.

I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time.

Rest well Nathalia and everyone onboard N722BD 🙏🏼❤️✈️
